"Mother Qian is right. I don't want to be wronged for no reason. The Queen Mother is a highly respected elder. With the Queen Mother making the decision, I believe she will be able to clear my name in the near future."

Su Qianxi lowered her eyes slightly, her long black eyelashes trembling slightly, adding fuel to the fire, "After all, this matter concerns the royal family's face, so there is no room for delay. Why don't you, Aunt Qian, set off now, and I'll have someone arrange a carriage for you."

Aunt Qian nodded and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Jinchuan.

"Wouldn't it be bad to disturb the Imperial Grandmother with such a thing?"

You know best what you have done.

He didn't dare to bet that what he had done could be concealed perfectly when the imperial grandmother launched an investigation.

"What do you think the third prince has to say?"

Su Qianxi turned her head and smiled softly at Shen Jinchuan, her voice gentle but with an undeniable sense of oppression.

"The matter between you and Miss Wu is in the eyes of everyone present today. In front of everyone, there are only two options before Miss Wu. Either you get married, or she becomes a sister-in-law and lives her whole life."

"Listening to what the second princess asked me just now, it seems that something like this happened to you two because someone was plotting against you. Are you willing to be plotted like this, ruin your reputation, and let the murderer go free?"

Qingzhu twitched his lips while listening to Su Qianxi's righteous words from behind.

If she hadn't learned the whole story from the princess, how could she have guessed that it had something to do with the princess.

Shen Jinchuan hesitated to speak, "I..."

I wanted to forget it but couldn't say it out loud, but if Nanny Qian was allowed to enter the palace, I'm afraid a lot of trouble would arise.

After thinking about it, I couldn't figure out the reason for a while.

Wu Qilan, who had been silent since Su Qianxi appeared until now, also spoke now.

"Your Highness, I am a good and innocent person. I don't know who has plotted against me today. If this matter is not brought to light, how can I have the face to see others in the future?"

She just realized that she was with His Highness the Third Prince after being drugged. Although she was a little scared, she was also a little happy.

He had expressed his feelings to the Third Highness in private before, but the Third Highness said that he did not want to get involved in the struggle for the throne. If he was with her, he would not be able to avoid the struggle for imperial power.

Therefore, it can only be said that they were destined but not separated, which made her sad for a long time.

Now, by some strange combination of circumstances, she and the Third Prince were completely tied together. She was naturally happy, but she also knew that if this matter was not handled well, she and the Third Prince would always be accused behind their backs in the capital. Point and point.

Therefore, she prefers someone who can investigate the matter and let everyone know that she and the third prince are both victims, which can restore some reputation.

Wu Qilan expressed that she wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, but Shen Jinchuan could not say anything no matter how much he tried to evade.

Seeing that no one related to this matter had any objections, Grandma Qian turned around and hurried into the palace.

A good banquet ended up like this, and everyone had no intention of staying any longer, so they all found excuses to leave.

Su Ruowei watched the gorgeous carriage of the Prince Regent's Palace go away, with a gloomy face, and took Qiuyue home.

Sitting on the carriage home, Su Ruowei couldn't figure out why things developed to this point.

Today was obviously a good day for them to plot against Su Qianxi and make that idiot Su Qianxi work wholeheartedly for them.

Why didn't they succeed in anything they wanted to do? Instead, they were humiliated by Su Qianxi in front of so many people. Even the third prince was inexplicably caught in the attack.

She felt like everything that happened today was like someone had seen through all their plans, and not only solved all the plots against Su Qianxi, but also allowed them to steal the chicken but lose the rice.

If this person really existed, who would he be?

Is it the regent?

Or someone else?

Su Ruowei thought about this question all the way to the door of her house without thinking about it.

"Weier, why are you back so soon? Didn't your parents say that you were invited to attend the banquet prepared by the princess?"

Just as Su Ruowei got off the carriage, a gentle voice with doubts came from not far away.

Su Ruowei raised her head and saw a man wearing a sky blue brocade robe, with handsome features and gentle eyebrows slowly walking towards her.

The visitor is Su Yuqian, the eldest son of the Su family, the eldest brother of Su Ruowei and Su Qianxi.

Su Ruowei saw that her eldest brother, who had not appeared at home for several days, was back. Her eyes were red with excitement. She quickly threw herself into Su Yuqian's arms and shouted aggrievedly, "Brother——"

Su Yuqian received a gift from His Majesty some time ago and entered the Hanlin Academy to work with the ministers in the Hanlin Academy.

Because I am a newcomer, I have a lot to learn. In order not to waste time, I have been staying in the Hanlin Academy for the past few days. When I came back today, I got a letter from the boy at home.

It was said that Su Qianxi came back from three dynasties after her replacement marriage, and for some reason she had a conflict with her family. The regent protected Su Qianxi.

Su Qianxi's mother was so angry that she was bedridden, and her father was reprimanded by His Majesty. Even Ruowei, the victim, now has a bad reputation in the capital because of the regent's intervention.

He didn't expect that he had only stayed in the Hanlin Academy for a few days, but so many things happened at home, so he could only come back in a hurry to see if he could help.

"What's wrong? Who made you feel wronged?"

Su Yuqian felt a little distressed when he heard his sister, whom he had doted on since childhood, calling him wrongly, and quickly asked what happened.

"It's not because of the eldest lady," Su Ruowei said nothing, Qiuyue behind her said angrily, "The eldest lady is now taking advantage of her position as the regent princess, deliberately bullying the second young lady in the princess palace, and even comparing the second young lady to an actress."

"Others are afraid of the eldest lady's current status. Not only did they not stop her, some people even followed the eldest lady and taunted the second lady."

As soon as Su Yuqian looked up, he saw a woman whose face was swollen like a pig's head, and her original appearance was completely unrecognizable. After carefully identifying her for a long time, he asked tentatively, "Are you... Qiuyue?"

Qiuyue paused for a moment after hearing this, and her face turned red instantly.

However, her entire face was now extremely red and swollen, and you couldn't tell it without looking carefully.

Qiuyue felt ashamed and annoyed, and replied in a low voice, "Yes, sir, I am a slave."

"How did you become like this? Who hit you?"

Su Yuqian remembered Qiuyue, who was Wei'er's personal maid. She could be considered a Xiaojiabiyu, and could barely be considered a beauty.

Why does it become like this just after going out?

"It's all my fault. I pissed off my sister."

Su Ruowei, who was throwing herself in Su Yuqian's arms, rolled her eyes when she heard this and thought about it.
